Joyce pointed out in comments that Ms. McTurtlePants is sporting an enlarged reproduction of her lovely face on the backside of her shell. How cool is that?
Addendum:
I went a-Googling and found that she’s an eastern box turtle. Judging by her size and orange coloration, she’s an older model. A younger turtle would likely be yellow and black instead of orange and brown, as their colors mellow with age. Box turtles live to be about 80 years old in the wild, with some individuals living up to 100 years. They are protected in Indiana, so it’s illegal to keep wild-born individuals as pets. The shell designs vary widely in pattern and coloration. As far as I can tell, the face on the back of her shell is pure coincidence, which makes it even more amazing. Thanks, Joyce, for pointing it out!
